Walk Through A Winter Wonderland At RainDance Winterfest in Windsor

If you've ever wanted to walk through a winter wonderland, you'll get your chance at RainDance Winterfest in Windsor this holiday season.

The inaugural event open to the public runs Wednesdays-Sundays from Nov. 27-Jan. 3 and is headquartered at Ted's Sweetwater Grill (2191 Covered Bridge Pkwy in Windsor).

The Winterfest Grand Opening event will take place at 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 27 with the ceremonial lighting of the covered bridge next to Ted’s Sweetwater Grill. RainDance developer Martin Lind will preside in the bridge lighting ceremony. Colorado Eagles mascot Slapshot will also make an appearance from 5-6:30 p.m.

“We want to end a really tough year with some feel-good stuff and really amplify Christmas for families in Northern Colorado,” Lind said.

“I’ve always been big on Christmas and the meaning for the season.”
